LONDON – Maybe it was the inclement weather that reminded him of Green Bay, or maybe it was the fact that he got to put his kids to bed over FaceTime at 4 in the morning. Regardless, prime Davante Adams showed up at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

On the Rams' second offensive drive, quarterback Matthew Stafford faked the handoff at the two-yard line and lofted the ball for Adams in the right corner of the end zone. The veteran wide receiver elevated for the catch and tapped both feet in the end zone, as he's done countless times before, to put the Rams up two scores in the first quarter.

Adams' connection with Stafford got off to an inconsistent start this season, but that changed on Sunday. Adams graced the British fans with goal-line fades and one-handed grabs in his three-touchdown performance against the Jaguars, helping L.A. to a 35-7 win.

"Just the intentionality (increased this week)," Adams said. "I went into this week, I told you guys earlier in the week I wasn't satisfied with the efficiency, specifically him targeting me... some of them have been me, some of them have been the throws, but just figuring it out, being on the right page, just working on a few things (helped)."

Sunday was Adams' third three-touchdown game in the NFL, tying a career-high, and his first since Week 16 of the 2020 season. All three of them came on 50-50 balls inside the three-yard line, as the veteran receiver totaled 35 yards on five receptions and a team-leading eight targets.

With star wide receiver Puka Nacua sidelined with an injury, Adams took full advantage of his opportunity as Stafford's primary target. Adams said he and Stafford texted and talked through some things to get their connection on track over the past few weeks, and it showed up on Sunday. It wasn't immediate, as Adams' first two targets fell incomplete, but that made the payoff even more sweet.

"So starting out, obviously, the first two, not getting them, we were like, 'Okay, just keep being ourselves, not try to press,'" Adams said. "Because I think that's where you can kind of fall into that hole sometimes where it's not working and you try to do something that's outside of your body or whatever. And similar to what (Steelers quarterback) Aaron (Rodgers) used to tell me, we don't need any Herculean efforts. It's just, go out and be yourself, that's what we did today."

After those two incompletions, and apart from the touchdowns, Adams and Stafford connected for three intermediate receptions (one of which got called back due to a penalty) and only one target fell incomplete.

"Just going about our business, continue to try to talk to each other, work with each other, and just develop as best we possibly can," Stafford said of his continued growth with Adams. "And I thought today was a great example of that."

In the second quarter, Stafford faked the handoff yet again, this time at the one, and tossed the ball toward the goal posts for Adams. He fought through underneath contact and reached out with one hand to pull in his second touchdown, giving L.A. a 21-0 lead. His contested catch prowess was on full display.

Adams said that grab came on a pass play that was set up by the previous run, as they married the run and pass game concepts pristinely throughout Sunday's game.

"That's a play we've been working on, thinking about trying to hit," Adams said postgame on the NFL Network broadcast. "Actually got basically a premier look for it, got held a little bit, but it worked so good in practice we had to make sure we made it and punched it in in the game, too. Left hand was the only thing available, but that's all we needed."

The defense nullified the impact of an early second-half lull for the Rams' offense, but they got back on track late and put the game away.

With five minutes remaining, the eclectic football fans that lined the stands of Wembley Stadium got a dose of deja vu. From the one-yard line, Stafford floated the ball up for Adams on the right side once again, and he adjusted back towards it to haul in his third touchdown on the same route that led to his first. Adams, with the entire offense following his lead, hit the "siu" soccer celebration as they gave L.A. a 28-point lead.

The Rams scored on all four of their red zone drives, an area where they've struggled to convert at times this season, and Adams was a major difference-maker. Red zone efficiency is something he takes pride in, and was glad to be able to flash in London.

"We should just run all the same plays (in the red zone)," Adams said. "Just run them all back until they stop them. I mean, honestly, just what we were presented with on defense today, we saw a few opportune moments to go ahead and take them into some one-on-ones."
